Mark Stephen Pelfrey - Skipping Stones (acoustic) Lyrics

It's damn near every night
Just before I close my eyes
I lie awake and think about
How the day got away
It seems each moment
Just skips on by like throwin'
Stones across the pond we thought
If we're strong enough
We'll make it to the open
Flat and wide is the other side
But twenty odd skips ain't going
Me I ain't never had a need
To stand up on the table and speak
Never had that much to say I confess
But who'd of guessed
Folks have started listening
Seems each song it
Just skips on by like throwin'
A record on sing along
Do a little dance
Before you know it
You've gotta flip to the other side
'Cause twenty odd minutes ain't long babe
It's damn near every night
Just before I close my eyes
I lie awake and love the way the
Moon light illuminates your face
It seems each moment
Just skips on by like throwin'
All my years away with a woman
God gave me to love
And I swear I will
I always I will
Until we find the other side
'Cause eighty odd years ain't long babe
